That is correct. My apologies to all those who have commented on this, thank you for the correction. I would update the audio track but You tube doesn't allow this, so I pinned the correction. For those who know French, Sabot the "T" is silent as well. Thank you.

In the UK we pronounce it “saboh.”

@Nightshade what? He probably lives in Britain if he said 'we'

@Nightshade Sorry, I think it does. What would make you think that he 'isn't one of them'

People are not allowed to make mistakes lmao 😂?

Jay Kingsun he's a person, and he even responded to the criticisms about his pronunciation

Shovelheads are undeniably effective against tanks, so I don't see the problem.

Most of the MBT fire APFSDS on smoothbore barrels because the rifled could decrease the velocity. But if need to fire at rifled, the APFSDS rounds had to fit a spinning ring to preserve the velocity for the projectiles.

We used to fire them from the Challenger 1 in the early 1990s.

@@dustybaboon So you're former tank combatants, right? Well, I still have some detail error but at least I tried to pronounce the meaning. If you have experience, why not sharing it?

@@leekaijit36 I was a gunner in the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars in the early 1990s and we were a Challenger 1 regiment and we used to have APFSDS which we used to call fin and we had HESH rounds on our tanks.

@@dustybaboonI see... Thanks for your information, sir.

Thank you, much appreciated.

The arrowhead damages the round before impact of the main armor. That’s why it’s effective. The space doesn’t need to be longer than the dart, it only needs to be angled. The wedges can be countered with a round strong enough to resist shearing forces.

Actually its the other way around. Guns are scaled down canons.

Sabot rounds are not that common for rifles for obvious reasons.

well because it is, there is no armor on the planet that can even remotely stop it so far.

@@BryanPlaysAlot Perhaps. The only way to prove the total capability of armor and weapons is to have combat, but currently, we aren't having much of that.

It would literally just slice through you, like you were butter

On the bright side, the person might not feel it as they died before the nerves had the chance to send the signal to their brain.

The thing is, everyone here is wrong. Most armour piercing rounds are designed to cause shrapneling inside the tank. The actual rod usually isn't the thing doing the main damage, but the shrapnel that falls off the armour when the armour is penetrated. If you are in the way of all that glowing hot metal shrapnel, it'll probably have an impact of a huge shotgun blast.

Basically all western tanks before the adoption of the 120mm. Most of them were using the rifled L7

It's not telescoped as the tip of the shell is still outside the casing

No, No, The ERA effects both APFSDS and HEAT rounds. cause as soon as something hit ERA it explodes and send a plate outwards which either ruins the angle of a HEAT round which results in lesser penetration or for APFSDS it discombobulate APFSDS by ruining the angle of approach, so instead of nose of APFSDS hitting the armor, the side of APFSDS hits the armor resulting in lesser penetration. so, if the ERA is angled the more damage it prevents.

@@alimplays334 even then ERA is mostly for HEAT, the penetration reduction is too insignificant to also work against APFSDS sure it may work on better on older rounds but i dont think they give troops such old rounds that literally degrade pen like a quarter

Supersonic super sized lawn darts. SSSLD

No need, since the dart is so skinny :D

Say-bo is an American pronunciation

It’s the native pronunciation of a French word, but ok mate.

@@jaegergames7042 LOL French pronunciation is definitely not Say-bo. Its Sah-boh. Saybo is American pronunciation where theres a lot "ay" soundings.

HurBrowns ! Wooooosh. The comment was about the pronunciation of the “at” at the end of Sabot, “Say/Sah” comes down to an accent or inflection, the correct pronunciation is still “Say/Sah-Bo.” The “H” isn’t pronounced by either French or English speaking people unless they’ve got an impediment or aren’t educated/know the word correctly. And as someone who spent a lot of years not only learning French but living WITH French people, yeah, the “-ot” is isn’t pronounced either with a T or an H consonant sound.

I'm french and there is no "y" nor "h". As for the correct prononciation it's [sa.bo], with the french "a" [a] not the english "a" [ei]. We do not pronounce the final "t" either, because it follows a vowel. French is complex I'll give you that

But the ammunition had to add a ring to maintain balance for the projectiles velocity. And this ammunition process are consuming time and resources.

Also, spin =/= accuracy

SABATON 😂

Then it's not apfsds, it's apds

@@ChopyChopy no it isn't, APFSDS can be fired from a rifled gun such as on the challenger 2 , the L23a1,L26a1,L27a1 are all fin rounds.

It’s not the same round as the US APFSDS “Silver Bullet” round, but still an APFSDS

@@Sturmischer the ""silver bullet" was a Depleted Uranium round, the UK also used DU ammo but very limitedly as it was expensive.

@Terry McConville Leo C1s I’m guessing? Wouldn’t be surprised if APFSDS-DU rounds were made for the L7 105mm guns, they are still quite potent even today.

That depends on what hit the tank. There is a good book by Lt. Belton Y Cooper, tasked with "recovery, repair, and maintenance" of American WWII tanks back into service in the ETO. While some of the book is of debate, there is no question that sometimes it was a messy job cleaning out tank crew's remains. The book is a very interesting one: Death Traps: The Survival of an American Armored Division in World War II. Thanks for your comment.

There’s some images that show the moments immediately after penetration. You can see the cloud of shrapnel and the penetrator itself.

Military History in a Minute Beltin Cooper has no first hand experience on what’s bad about the Sherman’s as his assumptions on the Sherman being a bad tank were largely disproven at this point by sources and people with first hand experience and historians. Death trap ain’t a way to put the Sherman either, it’s quite the opposite

@@H1MIN Cooper's book has been thoroughly debunked. He never bothered to ask a tank crewman why the knocked out tanks burned. They burned because all tank crews are taught that an enemy tank isn't dead until it starts burning. So you keep shooting at it until it's on fire.

Which one?

the sabot doesn't liquefy the crew. The trip through the exit point performs that action.

@@marshfield01 There are no liquifying effects to APFSDS ammunition exiting a tank. Friendly fire incidents in Desert Storm proved this.

when an APFSDS hit and penetrate the tank, there is no time for poisoning the crew, only up to 7000*C temperature for less than second inside tank also high pressure air which fraction bones and internal organs of crew blow up, also fragments from the rood also from cracked plate of tank hull will penetrate the body of crew, then another explosion of ammunition cartridges in the tank which is result of fragments which hit and penetrate the ammo cartridges full with explosive and initiate to burn such explosive inside the tank hull, and for next 5 seconds such high temperature will bake the crew body's, then some more explosions in row which come from exploding tank shells (HE or HEAT) which explode like result of high temperature inside the tank, which results on total collapse of the tank and everything inside. Literally the tank inside will melt. Terrible death... You can see fragments inside tank hit by APFSDS. Imagine if the tank was full of ammunition and crew... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbtgkpya0MeYYqM.html

Alex510 M919 ?

@@christophegroulx8187 honestly I don't remember the proper nomenclature for it. We always just called it APFSDS-T.

Alex510 Oh yeah it’s the M919

@@christophegroulx8187 I've also talked with guys from oif1 who say that ammo type was found to degrade the integrity of the barrel due to the propellant being more explosive than what the gun was originally designed for. Again though, I've never fired APFSDS-T so I can't speak from experience.

When y’all get into a real war I’m pretty sure the du ammo will be issued

russian ERA have an effect against kinetic penetrators as inside the brick there is an angled plate which when the explosive set off is pushed out and due to the fact that it's angled it goes to "snap" the penetrator causing it to lose penetration... it can theoretically decrease the penetration up to 30% but realistically around 15%.

Relikt ERA can reduces APFSDS penetration up to 50%

Oh yeah I forgot about that.

Necronuclear that's simple bullshit... best reduction scenario reach 20-25% K-5 10-15%

BlackSkorpion1991 There is Relikt ERA. It's third gen ERA. It claimed that Relikt can reduce kinetic ammo up to 50%

They use DU because its cheap as it is a waste product from the enriching process for nuclear reactor fuel and they haven't got many major qualms with using a heavy metal that is toxic if it enters the body and has low radioactivity. Tungsten on the other hand is needed in industrial processes such as machining.

@@01Laffey But for war strategy materials, which is easiest to obtain?

it's a shell, not a rocket, and it uses a solid propellant (similar to any rifle round)

"You should make a vid on composite armor." Just about everything you read about composite armor is speculation. The people who know - aren't going to talk about it.

Never say that again please... My eyes are melting out of my skull and my ears are bleeding.

The casings of these rounds are made of a special polymer that burns up completely when the round is fired, it is made this way so that the interior of the tank will stay relatively uncluttered even after an long engagement.

Most tanks use a metal baseplate on the casing for better reliability, which is seen in the video, whilst the bulk of the case is made of burnable material that is destroyed when fired Russian powder charges work in a similar way, just in two pieces and with a hard-cloth shell instead of polymer. The metal plate is also used to remove heat from the gun, and is often ejected after firing (russian tanks), or left inside during combat (many western tanks)
